Forests play a critical role in capturing carbon emissions, offering a natural solution to climate change.

Recent research suggests that less logging and allowing trees to mature can significantly increase this benefit.

While Sweden's forestry practices primarily focus on short-term timber production, experts like climate scientist Markku Rummukainen argue for reduced logging to maximize forests' carbon storage.

However, representatives from the forest industry, like Magnus Berg, argue that current practices ensure sustainability and support the economy.

As climate goals become more urgent, balancing economic interests with environmental benefits is essential.
